  1. I think its the unpredictability of the these cyclocross champs that adds some spice to the peloton. I like it. But yes we'll see what he will do. today is quite flat so I doubt he'll try anything. Unless he has a green jersey in mind.
  2. Have you ever seen MVDP sitting in the main bunch for a chill ride? He took yellow at Flanders the one day, and the next day the yellow jersey was in the break away...... He is a legend in the making.
  3. Tour de France fan that caused chaotic crash facing jail term as police launch search (msn.com) Seems at least they are taking the spectator incident seriously. Doubt they'll find her, but this will hopefully be a deterrent for future idiots being true to their nature.
  4. ah I didnt see him. thats great.
  5. so effectively the tdf gc is between the slovenians and Thomas.
  6. same
  7. same. GCN+ and Express VPN works a charm
  8. Sagan for an 8th Green jersey. he is getting good form
  9. yes. but no coverage in SA. hear VPN suggestion flying around though
  10. i have the titan water bottles in black. love them
  11. Maniax

    GCN+

    which vpn are you using?
  12. haha. you do what you can in cpt. manage to rack about 80% of it in a almost continuous 30km.
  13. went looking for hills to climb. was leka
  14. i always fix my punctures on the grass next to the road. It not just logical but also safer for me and those riding in the yellow lane.
  15. this was legend!
  16. is there a tdf compitition on the hub this year?
  17. im always tinkering and studying. So adjusted my position (seat position, height, tilt and cleat position). so tested on my favorite stretch of road. Getting more glute engagement and straight pedalling although I found my stance is to close together so back to tinkering on that one. But overall speed and power inprovement. Cut 2min off previous time.
  18. Im only here for the adverts and limited bike related forum discussion. I rarely if ever go to the off-topic stuff. So Im quite happy to comply
  19. Supply and demand bruff. Willing buyers and willing sellers. If a buyer is prepared to pay 35k for a 2nd hand spez, then the seller is free to sell at 35k. If the 35k spez is not selling, then the seller has to keep the machine or drop his price until he meets a willing buyer. Its simple economics. The fact that people are paying that type of money for a bicycle, shows how alive and vibrant the sport actually is. Btw, I say a new set of zipp 353's at a local bike shop for a nice 89k. If people are willing to spend 89k on a set of wheels, what you complaining about then?
  20. haha my thoughts exactly
  21. So I did a double loop of koeberg road to malanshoogte and up vissershok then through D'urbanvale. the idea was to get my mind right and to train my mind for long distance riding. was great. loved it. Did the glengarry hill on the way home just to drive the fact home that my legs are capable of much more than what my mind tells them they are. #stuffthemindday
  22. I've kind of stabilized on 87.1 at the moment. about 10kg lighter since start of 2021. Been a flipping mad month stress wise to the point of getting shingles (bloody sore that). Being off the bike a lot more due to work stress and illness and not-so- healthy eating, I haven't continued the downward trajectory. But 87 is good. Now I'm back on the discipline wagon. So 85kg here I come.
  23. loved this tweet.
